Your eyes or skin may be exposed to the laser beam emitted from the objective, resulting in injury.
Caution for heat.
This marking at the top part of the Dia-illuminator and the 12V100W lamphouse calls your attention on the
following;
•
Lamphouse becomes very hot during and immediately after the illumination.
•
Risk of burns. Do not touch the lamphouse during and immediately after the illumination.
•
Make sure that the lamphouse is sufficiently cool before the lamp replacement.
Biohazard
This symbol on the stage calls your attention to the following:

Risk of electric shock.
This symbol labeled on the rear of the lamphouse calls your attention on the following.

To avoid electric shock, do not touch the lamphouse or the lamp socket while the IGNITION switch on
the power supply is depressed. (While the IGNITION switch is depressed, the high voltage of
approximately 2kV at maximum is supplied to the lamp.)

In case of emergency, pull off the power cord from the power supply. (The power supply will then be
isolated from the main power source.)
•
To avoid electric shock, turn OFF the power of the power supply (press down to the side), pull off the
power cord from the wall outlet and confirm that the POWER monitor lamp is extinguished, before
exchanging the lamp or connecting/disconnecting the cables.
